Policed Mind

Logline:
The Woman in White wanders through an empty police building where The Guard steals thoughts.

Synopsis:
The Woman in White and The Guard walk in a fixed rhythm, almost mechanically, through the corridors of the empty
police station. While she is in search for the truth, she follows him aimlessly. An invisible tension hangs between them,
like an underlying current of buzzing electricity. Meanwhile, The Woman with the Nails tries to break through them from
the crawl spaces of the building.
On the way to the engine room, The Woman in White is taken to an unknown destination. She reacts with visible doubt
and still lets herself be affected. Every switch of the buttons in the engine room, the repetitive rhythm of footsteps on
concrete and steps, the scratching of the nails, the reflection of sounds against walls and glass, as well as every meeting,
create an atmosphere that goes beyond their physical encounter.
The Woman in White is faced with a dilemma and does not know which direction to follow. The Guard, The Machine or
The Woman with the Nails. She discovers how she has been led on an almost misleading clue. There is only one sound
she should listen to…
